    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    will regular enamels hold up fine or does it have to be a high temp to paint the block. I havent found a high temp in a green. Ive found some nice greens in high performance type enamels though.

    ldt465 engine paint recommendations

    ok guys. im polling here. what have you used as a paint for the engine block of a deuce. There are very few engine paints in a high temp that are even green much less od. Ive seen several that say they have used rattle cans. Is the engine temp not a concern? im open for suggestions. Most...

    M109A3 RV Conversion

    Well ill add another question. Has anyone found a good product to put on top of the box to seal out water? I thought of using the same 3m undercoating i used inside my other truck. That stuff is amazing but im not sure how it will stand up to uv and constant exposure to the elements.

    found a M35A2

    one part as far as i know....er, well i guess that depends. The body of the door is one part, meaning that you cant take an inner panel off and simply replace it without cutting welds. you can remove hinges and other small parts, but the body of the door is one piece. Doors are quite expensive...

    found a M35A2

    doors could be a very costly repair depending on how you do it. I got very very lucky and caught the owner of a local military bone yard on a good drunk! :D He basically told me to go pick two doors off any truck on the north forty. i found an an a2 that had just been trailered in from a gl...

    Extra Storage Space for your M109

    well i could see how you may wind up with that much in one of these over time. I plan on doing mine all myself. I'm allowing myself a $5000 budget. This is to include laminate flooring, a refrigerator (which i already have), an a/c unit, a heating unit, insulation, etc. I plan to scavenge as...
